I've been searching forums and reviews over the internet to find real throughput values from people actually owning devices and do the tests. I only found assumptions, speculations and guessing. Only seldom I found reliable speed reports by people, especially they always "forgot" to mention...

Yes this is a known bug for people who are new to computers and have no ideas how modern security and OS architecture is working. I won't go explain to you how Linux/OSX/Windows work, but you can google most of it. In 99,99999% of the cases where a Linux system is refusing to delete a...

The copy process to the HDD over the LAN achieves a speed of 100Mbps Read achieves a bit more, 140-160Mbps The external USB HDD is in an icebox, which lights up "blue" when there's reading/writing from the disk. While copying, the blue light is blinking non-stop and the copy/read/write is...

You've something wrong. I'm copying 3 TB right now. Speed is indeed only about 100Mbps, but my CPU load is reported as: CPU Load Average (1, 5, 15 mins) 2.31, 2.13, 2.09 If you hit 50 or 25%, something is wrong.. I heard with ARM routers you get 400Mbps, but who has ARM routers...

I also use TAP.. when using TUN, I found out I can't browse all the network. When using TAP, all clients in the network are accessible from every client and vice versa.. If you know a setup for TUN to do this as well, let me know. I'm willing to experiment. But if you need a "open" setup...

rewrite And you can't rewrite them? I'll write to asus! :) Very good they wrote their modules to handle USB-Hubs and multiple devices attached.. I think they "forgot" to add GUI support for it.. Maybe they wanna rewrite their code :)

TKIP will kill "802.11n" You can't use TKIP .. I assume you're running that if you always get "g" also, the AP automatically downgrades to be compatible with the lowest client.. if someone connects from a "g" device.. ie old nokia 5800 phone, the AP will switch from "n" to "g"...

Running 3.0.0.4.374.34_2 on a RT-AC66U I now have attached 2 HDD's to my router by using a self powered USB hub.. WORKS the disks are initialized properly.. SAMBA works.. Now the question is.. how can I see how much is used and free on each.. I know I can telnet and use df -h or...

Found the reason.. Usually I boot into Ubuntu ob my i3770k, but since my wife was running Hackintosh on it, I thought I give this a try: https://github.com/RMerl/asuswrt-merlin/wiki/Initialize-OPTWARE it says here: MiniTool Partition Wizard Home Edition So I downloaded the latest...

Hardware: Asus RT-AC66U Firmware: 3.0.0.4.374.34_2 USB HDD: Raidsonic Icybox IB-318StU3-B HDD inside the Raidsonic: WDC WD30 EZRX-00MMMB0 Partition Table: GTP Partition Format: EXT3 Ubuntu can see the drive and read/write from/to it. The Merlin-WRT can see the drive. I go...

A2 is definately different The default Asus firmware is good for users with low feature demand. Useless for anyone who's serious about networking. You need merlin or dd-wrt to make this router into the top routers on the market. Up to at least the date of this post, there are some big issues...

That I can understand. But I think the LAN Address should at least show the one accessible over the network, or if not, show a list of the MAC addresses of all the various interfaces. I mean, for a normal system administrator to find out the MAC address can be hard if he/she isn't informed about...

Dear Merlin, The Router has some issues with the exposing MAC address. If I want to retrieve the MAC by code (c++, c#, c, etc..) Example c-sharp: NetworkUtils.GetMacAddress(IPAddress.Parse(172.22.56.1)) it does give a complete different MAC Address then the address I can see on the system...

If you ever need to track down such problems in future, let me know, I'll grant you access to our network. 2 Clientnetworks I have in Russia using Beeline and I won't mind granting you admin to the routers to nail down bugs.

For people with low needs TUN will suit every single home network need. If configured properly. There are many reasons that can "block" traffic, but the main points are written by Merlin. The benefit of TAP is that every single network service will run (normal home users don't need this I...
